We are so stuck! We’d like something a bit less popular this time round. DH is on the look out for a ‘good solid British name’ and has rejected all my suggestions out of hand.

Seamus. I don't know why, it just popped into my head. Slightly depends on what your DH means by "British" though.

Daniel, Matthew, Thomas, Edward, all spring to mind as being of a similar type to your names. But probably don't match your not so popular brief Grin [helpful]

James
Henry
Harry
Theo
Benjamin

The two you have already have well known shortenings so I might be inclined to go with another that can be shortened too.

I don't know why, it just came into my head following the other names.
